Handmade Arcade Maker Directory

Handmade Arcade Maker Directory

As part of our mission to help makers connect with customers, Handmade Arcade has launched a Maker Directory on our website. The Maker Directory is a one-stop website for shoppers to easily find makers to shop from and will allow Handmade Arcade to increase our promotion of makers all year long.

Before submitting your business to the Maker Directory, we encourage you to explore the Maker Directory FAQs.

Please allow for 7-10 business days for us to get your business on the Maker Directory after you submit this form.

Please check your responses to this form very carefully. Due to our current staff capacity, we will be unable to make changes to your Maker Directory page once it is created unless it is our error copying your information from this form. If you change a critical part of your business (i.e. business name, or website link) or need to remove your business from our Maker Directory, please email makers@handmadearcade.org, and we will try to make those changes with 72 business hours.
